"I'm scared."
The words out of his mouth broke my heart. I could see it in his eyes, but him recognizing it enough to have to say it to me... I pushed away from him and stood up.
"Am I scaring you?"
"Yes."
I took a deep breath and sat down on the floor next to my bed. My heart felt like it was eating itself. I couldn't begin to find the words to say. I felt nauseous.
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be," I choked on the words. The thought of someone hurting Avi, so bad that he was scared even months after it stopped happening, was tearing me apart. I could see the confliction in his eyes. He wanted to help me, but he didn't want to be hurt by me. I'd have to deal with this pain alone while I helped Avi. "It's not your fault."
"It is my fault. If I wasn't so weak..." He started to cry again. I hated seeing him cry. I wanted to hug him, to hold him and rock him and tell him everything would be okay, but I knew I would scare him. What the hell was I supposed to do?
"I hate this."
